FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures:

General notes:

Following inhalation:

Following skin contact:

Following eye contact:

If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in
attendance.
Remove to fresh air. Keep at rest. If not
breathing give artificial respiration. Seek
medical attention if symptoms occur.
Flush with water, use soap if available.
Contaminated clothing should be washed
before re-use.
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for
at least 10 minutes. Seek medical attention
if irritation persists.

SAFETY DATA SHEET

Following ingestion:

Self-protection of the first aider:

Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting

occurs, keep head low so that stomach
contents don't enter the lungs. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Seek medical attention
immediately.
No action shall be taken involving any
personal risk or without suitable training. If it
is suspected that the mixture is still present,
wear appropriate personal protective
equipment.

earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite).
Place in a container for disposal according
to local/national regulations.

Note: The Derived No Effect Level (DNEL) is an estimated safe level of exposure that is derived
from toxicity data in accordance with specific guidance within the European REACH regulation. The
DNEL may differ from an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) for the same chemical. OELs may be
recommended by an individual company, a government regulatory body or an expert organization,
such as the Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL) or the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygenists (ACGIH). OELs are considered to be safe
exposure levels for a typical worker in an occupational setting for an 8-hour work shift, 40 hour work
week, as a time weighted average (TWA) or a 15 minute short-term exposure limit (STEL). While also
considered to be protective of health, OELs are derived by a process different from that of REACH.

Exposure controls:
Concentrations of product vapours and mists in the working atmosphere must be kept as low as is
reasonably practicable. Exposure should be minimised by the use of appropriate containment,
engineering control and ventilation measures. Where this is not possible, personal protective
equipment should be worn as indicated below where appropriate.
Appropriate engineering controls:

Personal protection equipment:

Eye and face protection:

Thermal hazards:

Safety glasses with side-shields

conforming to EN166.
Protective gloves conforming to EN374-3.
Use chemical resistant gloves
recommended by glove manufacturer as
being suitable for kerosenes if hand
exposure is unavoidable.
Protective gloves made of nitrile,
neoprene or PVC are suitable, although
other types may be more suitable in other
circumstances.
For prolonged exposure, recommended
gloves with protective index 6, > 480
minutes permeation time according to
EN374.
As the product is a preparation, consult
the glove manufacturer for exact
breakthrough time. Glove manufacturers
directions for use should be observed.
Wear impervious clothing. The type of
protective equipment must be selected
according to the concentration and
amount of dangerous substance at the
specific workplace.
If ventilation is insufficient, suitable
respiratory protection must be provided.
Chemical respirator with organic vapour
cartridge. Use respiratory equipment with
gas filter, type A2. EN
136/140/145/143/149.
For higher level protection use type
ABEK-P3 (EU EN 143) respirator
cartridges. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under
CEN standards.
Not applicable.
